    We are all different

    This week we have been learning how we are all different. We have different coloured hair, skin and eyes and we also have different likes and dislikes. We have made handprints for our class display – we are all different in Reception.

    Staying safe

    This week we have been learning about online safety and how we must always tell an adult if someone makes us feel sad or upset. We watched a video and shared our ideas with a talk partner. We used emojis to show how we would feel in different scenarios. 
     
    We have also been practising getting changed for PE and have worked on our balance in gymnastics.
